The Game Man

May 21st, 2003

You’ve seen the Game Boy, but have you seen the the Game Man?

M. C. Kids

May 19th, 2003

I remember playing M. C, Kids for the NES and thinking it was a decent game. It even made it into some issue or other of Nintendo Power,



One of the developers has, on his personal website posted his thoughts on the game.



I don’t know, he sounds a little bit bitter to me.

NES Memories

May 14th, 2003

Fond memories of playing NES just don’t seem the same when you are looking at them through the eyes of a barely literate 13 year old.



From the article:

“I’m only 13.But I remember the NES like I still have one.I loved that thing.Alright now lets go back.back to sumthing sumthing 1990.I had to half sisters and a older sister.Our best friend was Trina who had a NES.We went there all the time playing her NES.Then christmas that year we had one of our one.





Better look out, this kid might write for GameSpot some day…

NES-Dreamcast controller Mod

May 13th, 2003

This site has instructions on how to hook an NES controller to a Dreamcast, although I can’t imagine why you’d want to…

AsylumLAN 12

May 12th, 2003

I was there, teaching people how to lose in Tetris Attack and Super Mario Kart, and then handing out tee shirts to the losers .



I think everyone had a good time, Although these guys had a minor disagreement, they managed to come to an agreement.



All in all, it was a great time and I can’t wait for the next one in August. Meanwhile, I need to sleep for the next several hours.

Fatmangames Dot Com

May 9th, 2003

Fatmangames is the community-driven website dedicated to video game collectors. There is even support for collection tracking (here’s mine).



It’s nice to see a site like this that is primarily community driven. Members are encouraged to contribute to the site, whether it be by helping to complete the game database, or writing a review / news story.



It’s a refreshing change of pace from your normal game site.

The Video Game Answer Man!

May 8th, 2003

Have a question about what video game system to buy? Ask the Video Game Answer Man!. He runs down the pros/cons of each system and then tells you which one you should go buy.



It’s almost like he’s taken all the thought work out of buying a game system.

The NES PC

May 6th, 2003

Junkmachine has an article up about putting a PC inside an NES case. He even has a guide so you can do it yourself



Now, does anyone want to loan me the money, time, and electrical wizardry that it would take to actually do this and have it not look like I just taped a Nintendo case around a small PC?



Thanks, Smooth, for sending that in!

I never knew what ‘bleary’ meant until today

May 6th, 2003

Just a word of advice: if you have a final exam on Tuesday morning 10:30, don’t stay up until 3:00 playing Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.



I’m pretty sure my alarm went off this morning, but I couldn’t prove it.

The We Want The NES Back Foundation

May 1st, 2003

The We Want the NES Back Foundation is a site dedicated to the resurrection of the NES.



The site has (unfortunately?) closed its doors with the release of the e-Reader NES game packs (attesting it to be some small victory).



I really hate to break it to you, but not only did this site not have anything to do with the e-Cards being released, there’s no hope for Nintendo to re-release a dead system.
